Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

Your makin' some cool parts Steve. Just wish your camera could focus so I could see 'em. LOL. :p :D

Keep us posted on the micropump when you get 'er running. Next move for me was going to be trying to gear it down a bit - never got the thing to run low enough amperage one to one. I put mine on the shelf for now but will get back to it some day.

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

thanks Joe the cam takes a back seat for now my wife does a better job , the problem is to get her to take some time to take the pics for me :( what RPM motor do you have ? I got a johnson @6600 rpm I'm going to try not much torq though ( I just noticed :o ) we'll see I'm not sure about being able to run this in ECMT meat on the 11th I got to get on a trlr frame and some other things till a new lathe comes :D ( well new to me :o )

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

Lookin good Steve!

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

Sounds like I have the same motor. I bought a Johnson 12V 6600RPM motor off ebay and also tried the 12V Johnson motor off my Leimbach pump as a test. They both performed almost identical. Labored real bad and pulled 6 or 7 amps (blew a 5A fuse almost immediately). If I remember correctly these Idex micropumps are moving about 5 times as much fluid as a Leimbach with each revolution so I think problem is too much volume. I was going to try a 4:1 gear reduction as next step.

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

Joe my pump on the shelf to for a little . it looks out of proportion to the truck so I think I'm going to try to get a micro pump from the Germans for this 1 :confused: . I have timing pulleys for 4:1 reduction as a stacked unit I plan to get together for my TD40B and the big mack if the UMS pump will not work for it :confused:

thanks Brian :)

I'm pretty much shelving my projects till I get some customers caught up except for somethings I'll use as a trial run on the JD mill :mad: . Like the frame pieces for the pup for this truck .

http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/PIC_1216.jpg

if it does these right then I'll feel comfortable running drop deck frames .

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

last set of frames till I get a bunch of wheels out of my way :eek::eek::eek:

BTW : these have the ryco suspension built in ;)

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

Sweet lookin stuff!!!!!! Great design on the rails. Can't wait to see it all done

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

They look NICE Steve.. So do the A/C's. Question, are you drilling and taping the mounting holes in the a/c's?

~Mike~

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

"are you drilling and taping the mounting holes in the a/c's? "
Yes :)

thanks guys

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

Nice work Steve!

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

those machined parts look great, really impressive work on the dot bumper, incorporating the mudflap mounts, too cool

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

Man I can't wait to see this trailer built..

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

I got a lil package today when I got home :) My pumps came :) I won 2 micropumps from fleabay with the motors on with the magnetic coupling . I thought I'd give them a try on this truck to see how they work out :confused: . My valves are ready to get machined just a matter of feeling better and getting back in the shop :rolleyes::mad: I'm still toying on buying cylinders or making them Liembach has the right 1's but they take a chunk out of the pocket ( well not bad considering the real 1's :eek:)
( note spelling stinks :o)

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

Where is the pump from Steve, China?

Brian

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

Micropumps , they're made for lab equipment actually a US corp :eek: to by them outright they are more then a Liembach . but they use stainless steal for the pump housing . http://www.micropump.com/default.aspx

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

Ah time to dig ol nell out and try to finish er up after I got tiered of movin these pup frame rails for the 100th time :eek::eek::confused: now we easterners don't really get to see many pups except lil delivery vans . So I'm not to sure if I got it right or not . Just IH'n it :o:o suspension is a reyco still need to make up the torque arms mudflap brackets are set up peices from a special order

thanks fer lookan ;)

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

Pup and dolley look good! Stabalizers are sweet too are you going to use actuators or like a screw drive setup on them?

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

glad you like it guys :)

now remember I've been playing with these micro pumps awhile back ?

http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/PIC_1501.jpg

well i finally got 1 to a useable state :eek::D:D:D:D the motor that came with it musta been gelded :eek: so I had a 55T integy lathe motor and a RC4wth 4:1 reduction put it all together and ahlala insta pump at 15 bar pushing against the gage . bear in mind this is the smaller of the 2 type I have . it also has no relief valve .

http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/DSCN0237.jpg

now on to the valves :rolleyes:

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

I dug er back out fiddled with the axles while waitin on the mill :rolleyes: put wedico springs on the pup spent the rest of the time trying to remember what I was doing :eek::o:thinking::thinking::thinking: maybe life will let me get some parts made for the pup tomorrow :confused:

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

Lookin' purty purty there, Steve! :D

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

Looks nice Steve. How do these micro pumps compare, price-wise to Leimbach? That's a heck of a chair you have at the workbench? :D

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

nate my suggestion is buy the leimbach you have to do a lot to get these to work and they're not much cheaper new :eek: the gear sets are around $100.00 :jaw:

hey gotta keep the lab rats comfy while assembling wheels :D

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

well life did get in the way :rolleyes: did manage a few hrs this evening :eek:
but something got screewed up :mad: you'll see :rolleyes::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

Oh when you put a lense in there nobody will know but you, I think it looks just fine from over here.

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

little bit of sandpaper will fix that.. I wouldn't of noticed had you not said anything lol

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

mounting holes too big :(

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

I think it looks just fine, but we know how this works if your not happy with it than your not going to like it but I think it looks great. If you are painting the bumper black it may not be so noticable. Something like that might look killer on my Granite.

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

Truthfully i like the way it look's. But if not happy with it why not try to camouflage it, like hook a chain to the front pull hook and then on the top left and right hole's, put a small hanger rod in each hole and wrap your chain from side to side in "U" shape, and it may help to take away from it.

But to me your font bumper really look's great!!!! I Like it!!

Mike
